In total, there are seven different categories included in the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco from pre-war cars through to Formula 3 cars produced from 1974 to 1978. One of the most impressive categories is always the Pre-1961 GP cars with some truly legendary cars lapping the famous city on the French Riviera.
One of the most impressive cars from this year’s race was a Maserati 250F piloted by Frank Stippler. The car in question was one of many 250F’s used during Formula One racing from 1954 through to 1960 and makes use of a 2.5-litre straight-six engine delivering at total of 220 hp. Despite its age, the car is still capable of some impressive speeds at the dangerous circuit!
